Glenn Beck Says ‘Solid’ Ron Paul Could Be Candidate....

, Just Needs To Escape Crazy Supporters

Earlier today, Glenn Beck made a call-in appearance to the radio show that holds his name. Bed-ridden thanks to a back injury, Beck had to be clued in on the show’s goings on by his usual co-hosts Stu Burguire and Pat Gray. After Beck exclaimed admiration for Ron Paul’s speech last night, Gray and Burguire let him know that they’d had a Paul fan call in earlier on the show who wanted to start talking about the Elders of Zion and Jewish conspiracies. All three hosts agreed that this type of fan would be Paul’s big obstacle going forward.

To begin with though, everyone on the show couldn’t help but point out that yesterday was a really good day for Ron Paul. Beck described Paul’s speech thusly:

“I’ll tell you, if Ron Paul was that solid all the time, like on his foreign policy – if his foreign policy made any sense – Ron Paul would be the nominee. Even the way he talked about his foreign policy, it made sense. Until you get into it, until you really get into it. But what he said last night was great. What he said last night on the Fed, what he said last night on monetary policy was unlike any other politician out there. It was a great speech. You should really go back and watch it. It was a great speech.”
Burguire kicked in the accolades by pointing out that Paul was the only GOP candidate not to jump on the “Evil Rich Man” attacks on Mitt Romney.

However, once they got talking about the fringier elements amongst Paul’s supporters, the admiration ceased.

“What they’re doing to Ron Paul, these supporters like that,” said Beck. “Is they’re making him less attractive to the average person because no one wants to be in the crazy camp.”

Can't argue with that point about some supporters hurting him. There is a percentage of Paul backers who do and think horrendously crazy things. And, right or wrong, they attract media attention.

Not falling for it...it's just more of the same. Memo to Glenn Beck: Ron Paul's foreign policy DOES make sense...his foreign policy is the only one among all other candidates that DOES make sense.
 
I did not meet one crazy supporter the whole time in New Hampshire. Can someone please point them out to me. Even the media was talking about how polite and informed we were.
 
Eh? I can phone into a radio show and claim to be any candidate's supporter.A politician can only be held responsible for his own personal actions or those explicitly carried out under his instruction.

I did. And I've seen this same lady in other states all around the country. The Romney people were complaining about her too and telling us she made us look bad.
 
Its all one package. You cant have economic policy without considering the foreign policy.

"How many times are they going to keep buying the same magic beans?"

And Beck, you've never tried to deliberately perpetuate the "crazy" stigma, right?
Yea, no thank you, Mr Beck. Go back to supporting your "non-crazy" candidates, like Bachmann and Santorum.

IMO, Beck supporting RP would stand to discredit this movement, more so than any "crazy" RP supporter would.

Beck, you're still a fraud... You're going down with the establishment you've been shilling for.
 
Of course, they let THAT caller on... :rollseyes:

But that's the point. Whether that caller is the standard Paul supporter, the standard Paul supporter who calls onto radio shows, or an anomaly doesn't matter. Every one of us has an obligation to the movement to be more knowledgeable, more empathetic and more respectful than supporters of any other candidate.

Really, we've got to know better than to fall into 9/11-trutherism, Joooos Control The World-ism, Israel Runs America-ism etc etc. The media LOVES saying that all Ron Paul supporters are either drug users or nutjobs. We can't play into their hands.
 
He has a point ... Paul certainly attracts some weirdos. I don't know why he has to point it out every single time he talks about Paul though.
 
I have some experience with the Jewish conspiracy crowd from encountering them on various forums. One thing I've noticed about them is that they are extremely loud and self absorbed and they don't stop to consider what their views sound like to normal Americans.

So all Gingrich, or Romney, or Santorum has to do is dress up some idiot like a Ron Paul supporter, have them go off half-crazy and that will suffice to discredit the whole liberty movement? And they call US drug-addled? :rolleyes: Not buying it. That's just the talking point du jour.
 
How many Santorum supporters want to nuke Mecca? I think you'd find a pretty high number who would support that but Beck doesn't talk about it or say that it discredits Santorum's campaign.
 
Saying you don't like Ron Paul because of his supports is like saying you don't like Star Trek because of the nerdy fans who play Klingon Bobble every Tuesday night.

With that said, if these supporters are out there, why don't they just shut up? Don't they realize they're hurting Ron Paul and not helping in any way, shape, or form?

Because Beck would probably like to nuke Mecca himself. ;)

Are you kidding? They are the normal Americans. The other 99% of Americans are part of the Jewish establishment. :rolleyes:

I have no problem with conspiracy theorists. I believe many. But there's a way to conduct yourselves when representing a Presidential candidate, and the people we are talking about simply don't do it.
